Recently, I visited The Living Desert in Palm Desert, Calif., which, I must say is a very special place. As I was leaving, mid-afternoon, I caught sight of this backlit scene, processed it in Lightroom 4 with some NIK plug-in filters. Comments always appreciated and respected.

Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.

Great shot Al, the backlighting makes the cacti pop! :)

Yep,... everyone who walks down that path takes the same shot, but you did a lot with it. Very nice.

Thanks for the comments, Marcy. Still looking forward to the day when we cross paths "in the wilds". Al
